We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Microsoft Power BI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Predictive Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The support is very good."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The one feature most of our customers like is data visualization. When we were doing BI directly from SQL, most users found it challenging to create their own reports. Power BI has self-serve analytics that the end-users can do themselves. On most projects, people are primarily using data visualization and self-serve analytics."
"Connectivity, installation, and configuration are pretty fast and seamless compared to Cognos."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Because this solution is very easy, and very visual, you can have results in minutes."
"It seems stable. I haven't heard of any difficulties from my clients that utilize Power BI."
"In my experience the scalability is good. You are able to increase users and add more data."
"The fact that you can visualize items is great."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"I think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"The handling of the workspaces can be made more granular for user access rights. It can be managed a little bit better in terms of the connection to Active Directory so that we have more granular access rights. I am not sure if this is really possible or if we can solve it differently, but we need a lot of workspaces, and we are not sure how we can deal with it from the access rights perspective."
"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."
"The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it."
"Needs single sign-on."
"The formatting template could be improved."
"Power BI shows reports on actual data, not metadata."
"SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is not user friendly."
"Areas for improvement would be the construction of reports and the dashboard budget."
